Nalys Ildareth is the leader of a Syngornian sect of the Moonweaver as of 836 PD.[2]
Description[]
Appearance[]
Nalys is an elf with an athletic build, with tanned skin and long brown hair that falls to their shoulders, except for a topknot that they fasten with a silver moon-shaped ornament. They always wear a silver mask, and the rest of their ornaments, chains, and armor sections are also of that same material. Their clothes are mainly white, black, and red, with silver embroidery.[2]
Personality[]
Nalys is a zealot and mysterious individual who enacts whatever they consider the Moonweaver's will. They're thoughtful and calculating, becoming a furious avenger when they judge the moment to strike has arrived.[2]
Biography[]
Nalys grew up in Syngorn, in an elven community in the Verdant Expanse. At some point they developed a strong faith in Sehanine, the goddess of the moon, becoming her cleric and manifesting the magic of the Moon domain.[2]
With time, Nalys' faith only grew stronger, and they started to show new ways in which they and other worshippers of the Moonweaver could show their reverence, wearing silver masks so they, like the moons, would always have one face hidden. By 836 PD, Nalys was the leader of a sect of Moonweaver cultists that shared their beliefs, wanting to find a balance between Catha's calm order and Ruidus' ill-fated chaos, and the influence that both satelites have over Exandria.[2]

- Nalys is nonbinary.
- The colors of their outfit match the colors of Catha and Ruidus, and so do the gems in their weapon.
